Aldi are at it again - they're selling something really fancy, for a really cheap price.
They're offering what is regarded to be the world's best steak - the wagyu - which goes for big money in restaurants. What might cost you £50 in a swish eaterie, will cost you just £7.29 at Aldi.
It'll be on sale tomorrow, and of course, stocks will be limited so you need to act quickly if you want in.
You could of course, go to your local butchers and see what they've got, but that's not what this article is about.
Aldi's wagyu steaks are from cattle that are 100% grass fed in New Zealand, and have a rich, distinctive flavour. It is a really, really lovely cut of meat in fairness.
Aldi expect that there's going to be a bit of a rush on for these wagyu steaks, so they're imposing a limit of two steaks per customer.
That means, if there's a few of you intending to eat these together, more than one of you is going to have to queue up for them.
While you're there, you can see if they've got any of their special gin in stock, which is sold at a bargain price, and was awarded one of the best tipples in the whole world not too long ago.
Anyway, here's the wagyu steak you're looking for.

Wagyu is what Jonathan Ross puts on his pasta.

It is worlds best, but this is not proper Waygu, it only comes from the Waygu cow.
The actual steak which is massaged and fed beer costs about 50.00 - 75.00 for a steak.
They are just riding coattails, trying to rip off a proper expensive piece of meat

For meat to be called Wagyu only the bull of the parent needs to be a Wagyu bull, these are now bred in the UK and the differentiator from other beef is the high fat content / marbling which improves the flavour. The beer/massage thing is a load of nonsense (or makes little difference)- it's the breed of cattle which makes the difference, even only 50% Wagyu.

Aldi's normal fillet steaks very good so happy to give these a try......not expecting the sort of stuff you get in Nobu but if its nice its nice...simple as that....pretty sure no one is really expecting it to taste like a £75 steak

On top of that, great steaks like Angus, Scotch, Longhorn, USDA Prime, Belted Galloway and indeed Wagyu are all unique in their own right but are same in the way the cow is slaughtered at the age of two or three. Hence why I don't think Wagyu cannot be designated as the world's best.
